Cooking with the gals

This weekend my mom and sister came and visited. We had a lot of fun together and I was so sad to say goodbye:( It was some much needed girl time. While they were here, we made this yummy treat called an Oreo & Fudge Ice Cream Cake. I'll post the recipe on the recipe blog. It was delicious!

The girls

The crazy girls

It looks like Cali's thinking,"These people are nuts." We are.

Cindy said...: So where do I find the recipe, and will it melt since it's ice cream???? or can I take it to a BBQ this weekend??? Your thoughts.....If this won't work, do you have another yummy recipe for a dessert I can take to my party??? I'm trying to impress people, you know....; 6/28/07, 8:52 AM
hoLLy said...: Click on This Mama Cooks under "other sweet blogs" on my blog for the recipe(and many other good ones). It will melt so it won't be good to take to an outdoor BBQ. Fruit pizza(not on the blog yet) is a good one to take and then there is also on the blog Brownie Trifle(my mom makes this have you tried it?) I don't know if you have a trifle bowl though. Anyways, check out the blog. There are few desserts.; 6/28/07, 9:21 AM

She also has quite the sense of humor and makes us laugh at the funny things she says every day. She loves to be outdoors, read books, and make cards and pictures for her family and friends. She is very giving and loving. She is also cuddly and asks for "snuggle time" daily:) She started tennis this past Spring and is loving it! I think we have finally found this girls "thing." Shes got one mean backhand! :) Her favorite thing in the world, however, is CANDY, oh, and ponies and fish.

Ammon is our handsome smart sweet 6 year old little boy that we can't imagine life without. He is so very loved by us all. Now that he is five, he is really starting to show us just how darn smart he is. He is learning how to read at an incredible pace. He can count to 9000 already(he tells us this, but we make him stop at 100:)! He started preschool this year and just LOVES going! He wishes everyday was preschool. He has a heart of gold and is so loving. He is a Mama's boy that I can always count on to give me hugs when I need it most. His favorite thing to do is draw/write, read, play with action figures(star wars and avengers being his favorites), do puzzles, and play the wii/tablet when we let him:) He loves Skylanders!

He is quite busy these days getting into everything he shouldn't be..sharpies included. Sometimes I'm just not sure I can keep up with him! He loves to climb on everything. And fall off of everything;) He is often seen with a bruise on his head! His favorite thing right now is cars. You can find him most days pushing a truck or car around the house as fast as his little legs will take him. He also adores being outside. We love this little guy so much!

And luckily is now sleeping through the night! We love our Lukey!
